Cyrus Jones, 5'10" 201
So, yes, except McCourty can tackle. He could always tackle. That was never an issue when he was making the transition.
I saw Jones matador at least three runs that came right at him tonight. Ain't nobody got time for that.
On the 2nd drive Richards pointed at the line and shouted at a DL on the edge (Longi I think) who adjusted and then stopped the run for a 4th and short. The Jags converted on 4th and short, but I think that play is an example of why Richards is the type of player who might last another season on this team.
But I'd rather see Bolden and King get roster spots over him, personally. I've been rooting for the kid but he just doesn't have the speed to make up if he makes a wrong move as happened a few times.
Would have to tip my hat to Roger if that's actually his plan, one crafty bastard for once.By tomorrow morning, we;ll know their names....
As an aside, check out coverage of Goodell's visit on PFT and off themonster sports....
Let's just say the articles resemble each other very, very closely..............
I am not sure which was posted first but(EDIT- I don't know which was published first)..

Roger Goodell drops by Gillette Stadium
Posted by Josh Alper on August 10, 2017, 8:01 PM EDT
Roger Goodell’s extended absence from Gillette Stadium was expected to end when the Patriots and Chiefs kicked off the regular season next month, but Goodell decided to call an audible on Thursday night.
Goodell is at the Patriots-Jaguars exhibition game and was spotted by Ben Volin of the Boston Globe visiting with Patriots owner Robert Kraft in Kraft’s box. Volin adds that Goodell was in the Boston area on Thursday and decided to “pop in” for the preseason contest.
It’s the first time that Goodell has been in the stadium since the 2015 AFC Championship Game, which the Patriots won on their way to a Super Bowl title. That was followed by the league penalizing the team and suspending quarterback Tom Brady as a result of Deflategate. Those decisions were not well received by the Patriots fan base and Goodell’s absence from the 2015 season opener was noted with derisive cheers from the crowd.
Goodell will be at this year’s opener, however, and what’s expected to be a hostile reaction to his presence from the crowd probably won’t be diminished by Thursday’s unadvertised visit.

Knowing Roger, he’s going to forgo the regular season opener and call this his visit. Would be a typical Roger clown move. Not sure if this visit is in addition to week 1, w

Hello Patriots Nation !!! My name is Vladimir and i'm big fan from Serbia. This is my first message on patsfans forum. I hope that my second message will be after our victory but its ok, it was just preseason game. We'll be the best when it's most needed.
And now something about last night game. I got good impression about Jacob Hollister, a really good player.
Once again, hello to everyone from all over the world and whose heart is beating for Patriots ! LET'S GOOO !!!
The Jags fans that I work with are actually giving me crap today. I've just looked at all of them with a smirk. I guess you gotta take your wins where you can get them.

I can't disagree. I love me some Jordan Richards, but last night was brutal. He may indeed have a bright future as a coach.Amen, Jordan Richards doesn't have the athletic ability to be anything other than a coach or an accountant, etc. It's obvious that he physically doesn't have what it takes to be within the lines of an NFL game. Plus, whatever the press guide lists him at, he's no more than 5'9". C'mon, this is simple physics.
You cannot "coach up" a Mensa quality kid with Stephen Hawking quality physical talent.
Great, Jordan Richards can be a coach. That way, maybe he won't send the press the pics he has on Belichick. Best of luck to him, though. He's a far better value to society off the field than on. He'll probably go back to Stanford and invent the cure for something.
In the meantime Cy Jones at least has a 50-50 chance of being coached up to play Safety. If he doesn't, oh well, they are stacked in the secondary and one of these UDFA's deserve a chance.

It was an entertaining game but a lot of guys had a poor showing. I saw it a little different than others on who performed well. The only front 7 players to play well imo were Hamilton, Grissom, Rivers, Wise, and Freeny. Langi and Roberts were okay. The rest sucked.
The secondary struggled but DJ Killings, Damarius Travis, and Dwayne Thomas looked the part and weren't exposed as far as I can remember.
On offense. All of the running backs showed a little something but I'm not going to magically think Bolden is all of a sudden a quality running back.
Oline struggled. I hated the backfield penetration that Waddle and Flemming allowed. This is the unit that needs far more games to see what we have.
I need to see more from all of the wrs before I get excited. And for any of them to make it, they need to showcase more blocking as well. Last night was a three-way contest between Hollister, Carr, and Lucien. One of these three needs to emerge as a one-man show.
HUH? Sanders was as good, but not great Safety. SMH.. Some of you Vet posters are really starting to re-write history with some of your whacked remarks..
